Joshua Coleman of California gives a speech to the protestors gathered at the Connecticut State Capitol Tuesday as the Senate voted on the religious exemption bill.
Two organizations and three parents opposed to the recently enacted law repealing Connecticut’s religious exemption from mandatory school vaccinations are suing the state Departments of Education and Public Health, the Office of Early Childhood Development and three local boards of education, saying the new policy violates their rights to privacy and medical freedom, to exercise religion, and to child rearing, among other claims.
The state Senate on Tuesday gave final passage to a bill repealing Connecticut’s religious exemption. Gov. Ned Lamont signed the measure the next day.
